The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation would be one, as
it provided insurance for bank deposits and restored permanent confidence in the banking
system, thus giving us a more stable economy.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission did so also, regulating the stock market, limiting
margin buying and getting rid of the boom and bust nervousness that caused the original
stock market crash.
Lastly, the Social Security Act gave
retirement payments to every American at age 65, and provided aid to orphans and the
physically impaired. This created a more equitable
society.
All three of these programs are still in existence
today.
